PlayStation Gives Away New Freebies to All Users For a Limited Time
PlayStation has given away a handful of free digital items for PS5 and PS4 users to celebrate one of its biggest annual promotions.
comicbook.comHere’s the latest on free PS4/PS5 game offers and free-to-play promotions.
What counts as “free game” on PS4/PS5
- Free-to-download games or game trials you can keep with a PS Plus subscription (for a limited window) or free promotions open to all players without PS Plus.
- Standalone free demos or trials don’t count as full games but are commonly offered during events or seasonal promotions.
Recent highlights (no-PS-Plus-required free offers)
- Graveyard Keeper free download prompt (no PS Plus required) was reported in early April 2026 coverage, with a limited-time window to claim. If you’re checking now, be aware the window may have closed; check the PlayStation blog or the store page for current status.[4]
- May 2026 news notes a few free items tied to flagship promotions or Days of Play events, including limited-time freebies for all users on PS4/PS5.[9]
PlayStation Plus free games (subscription required for access)
- February 2026 and July 2025 rounds highlighted multiple games that were free for PS Plus Essential/Extra/Premium members for set windows; these typically must be claimed within the promo period to keep playing after the window ends.[2][3]
- April 2026 round covered by TechRadar lists the PS Plus free games for that month, available to subscribers during the promo period.[8]
Recent notable cross-platform free promotions
